Definitely! Technically, header() with Location: should have an
absolute URL, though it works without one most of the time.

Hello Ashley,
i try to make a backup from some paths of my local laptop harddrive to a
folder on my server. Even if i'm not in the company.
If i'm outside (this time i'm in China) i have to copy it through the
Internet that is using http or ftp transport protocol.
The start of the copy is when the user clicks to a buttom and start the
backup process.
Kind Regards
Jens Geier

The script needs to be set up on your local machine. I don't think HTTP
will help you much here, as that isn't great for transferring files
upstream I've found. Googling 'rsync ftp example' brings about over
230,000 results, have you actually tried looking?

No, i have not.
Because i also think that there will not a finish software.
So i think i have to write something by my own.
That is the reason i ask for ideas to do so.
I just read here the following thread:
[PHP] Read directory; store filenames found in mySQL table?
That is something that is running in that direction in try to go.
Kind Regards

But I've told you that the best tool to do it is rsync. This is a tool,
not a whole large peice of software with a GUI, etc. You use it in
conjunction with other software to achieve what you need. Have you even
looked up at what rsync is?
Thanks,

How do I parse a date field from mysql?
I was hoping this would work:
$mydata->birthday = "2007-02-13";
#What month is it?
echo date("F", $mydata->birthday);
#What year is it?
echo date("Y", $mydata->birthday);
What am I missing? All I get is December 1969. Hmmm?
I am looking at the manual:
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html

Use strttotime() function. This will work as intended.
$mydata->birthday = strtotime("2007-02-13");
#What month is it?
echo date("F", $mydata->birthday);
#What year is it?
echo date("Y", $mydata->birthday);

This just stores a string to the variable $mydata->birthday - where did you
define $mydata->birthday as a data object?
$mydata->birthday = date("2007-02-13");
#What month is it?
echo date("F", $mydata->birthday);
#What year is it?
echo date("Y", $mydata->birthday);

Hi All,
I am writing module to display recent Wordpress blog posts in drupal.
I am taking RSS feeds of blog. I am using simple xml library of PHP to parse
xml.
Now the problem is I get weird tag in XML.
<dc:creator>Jason Bourne</dc:creator>
when i convert this xml into object by using simplexml_load_string I am not
getting dc:creator in the object as dc:creator is not valid variable name.
can someone tell me how to access it?
appreciate your help

It's not a weird XML tag, it's a namespace. The tag is <creator> and
it's within the dc namespace. I've not used simplexml before, but I
believe it handles namespaces.

Hi Ashley,
Thank you very much for your help.
simplexml handles namespace.
here is the link for reference
http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2005/10/20/simplexml-and-namespaces/
I am very happy.
Thank you very much again. :D
